356,839. dated February l, 1887,

Application filed May 26, 1886. Serial No. 203,278. (No model.)

To 053.3 whom, it may concern:

Beit known that I, WILLIAM F. Herrenm- SON, a citizen of the UnitedStates, residing at Lynn, in the county of Essex and State ofMassachusetts, liaveinvented a new and useful ShoeVanip-BnrnishingMachine, of which the following is a specification.

The object of my invention is to hnrnish or iinish the raw edges ofshoevanips and uppers ro Where theyare exposed to View. I attain thisobject by the mechanism illustrated in the accompanying drawings, inWhich- Figure l is a view of the machine with one leg removed so as toshoer the Working parts of the machine 5 Fig. 2, a View of theburnishing-iron, and Fig. 3 a sectional vienr ofthe Working parts of themachine.

Similar letters referto similar parts throughout the several views.

A is the frame of the machine.

B is an arm which forms a hearing for the shaft F, and to the lower endof which the link O is attached. The arni B is fastened to the piece o5,whi ch is a part ol' the frame A ,and is cast solid with it:

D is a block, which is placed looselyr in the square hole in the upperpart of the link C. The crank g passes through the block D and isattached to the end ot' the shaft F.

E is the hnrnishing-iron, which is fastened into a slot in the link O,above the block D, by the screw c. A crease should be cnt in the side ofthe iron E, corresponding in size to the thickness of the leather to beburnished. The iron should he placed in the link C so that the crease inits'sidewill be on nearly the same plane as the top surface of themachine.

E is a circular piece which iits around the iron E, and is held in placeby thescrew h. It

4o should have a slot in its cent-er large enough to accommodate thereciprocating motion of the iron E.

The link C is fastenedl to the arm B by the pin I), on which itoscillates. The crank g is a littie off the center of the shaft F, sothat when the shaft is rotated it will canse the block D, through whichthe crank passes, to move forward and backward, this moving the link Cand imparting a reciprocating or slightly oscillating motion to the ironE.

lThe top surface of the machine is made dat.

The machine is operated as follows: The upper or Vamp, the edge of whichhas been blacked, is placed ilatwise on the top of the machine, and theedge passed along in the crease of the rapidlyreciproeating iron.

The machine is made sniall, so that it ina-y he fastened to a bench andoperated by ahelt connecting it with the iioor-shafting, in the samemanner as an ordinaryT sewing-machine.

To obtain the best results, the iron E should be heated, which can hedone hy passing gas through a small tube till it cornes in contact withthe iron, or by means of a lamp, either of which methods is Well knownand needs no particular description.

Having fully described iny invention, what I claim ,and desire to secureby Letters Patent, is-

Avaniphnrnishing machine consisting, essentially, of a frame, A,provided with a table or plate, a bnrnishingdron, E, projecting througha slot or aperture therein, and means, as link O, block D, and crank g,for impartA ing to said hnrnishing-iron an oscillating or reciprocatingmotion, substantially as described.
